Abstract excerpt
The immunity repressor (Rep) of bacteriophage Mu establishes and maintains lysogeny by shutting down transposition functions needed for phage DNA replication. Although Rep is stable in vivo, an altered immunity repressor (Vir) encoded by virulent, trans-dominant Mu mutants is rapidly degraded by Escherichia coli ClpXP protease. Rep and Vir are degraded at approximately the same maximal velocity (Vmax) by ClpXP,...
